Service Robotics Market Forecast By 2021

The game-changing potential of artificial intelligence combined with sophistication in automation has rendered a ripe market for the global service robotics market. From performing complex surgical procedures to enabling effortless unmanning of defense vehicles, service robotics have come a long way in the past decade. The technical ability to automate a range of tasks with varying complexities has spurred an exponential demand for service robots in various industries such as agriculture, defense, healthcare, logistics, infrastructure, aerospace, entertainment, research and development, and logistics. Thus, the multiplying applications of service robots in a range of fields could cause these products to become indispensable in the near future, states Transparency Market Research.

According to TMR, the global service robotics market was valued at US$5.57 bn in 2014 and is expected to touch US$22.50 bn by 2021. The global market revenue is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 18.8% between 2015 and 2021. Application of service robotics for domestic purposes is expected to open up several growth opportunities for the global market. Though adoption of service robotics is anticipated to result in massive labor savings, it has also created a fear of loss of jobs leaving several able individuals unemployed.

Out of the two types of service robotics products, the professional service robotics segment is gearing up for escalating demand. The report states that the professional service robotics segment will surge at a CAGR of 18.6% from 2015 and 2021. This demand will be a result of the growing dangers of the modern warfare and subsequent efforts taken by the defense sector to minimize human casualties.
